Bigger is better is the american way...............but it is not necessarily the correct way in terms of visual balance, there is such a thing as proportion that needs to be considered. Just like louder sound does not equate to better sound, having a monitor that does not comfortably fit into its location does not make it better, only bigger. My position on staggered wheel setups on this car is also not very popular. While I agree that it looks very aggressive and is visually appealing to the show car crowd, the fact of the matter is that it is a FWD car and the people who know this will logically come to the conclusion that it is handicapping the vehicles performance for the sake of vanity. I am sure you have all heard this before.........form follows function & less is more.

i know staggered is for RWD but i like the look. And i know it affects performance thats why i bought a TL cause its not a race car. If i wanted speed i would of gotten something that responds to performance mods way better than the TL. As for the TVs, im in a car club and attend at least 2 shows a month and i love the look of them and the points i get for them at the shows....

Since you ask what we think....!
here is my
Head rest: Looks like stock cavalier HR..Stick with oem...! I love the big screen tho...!
Sun visor: Dose it even clip on? It doesn’t look custom...! Looks more like e-bay clearance special
and lastly loose the TL badge on the dash...!
looks
other wise...nice ride

damm! you guys were tough on this guy. let's give him some props before we bash him. everyone here has different taste. it's his money and if he likes it then that's what counts.
i like the fact that the car looks very clean. kit and wheels look good. i'm not a fan of some mods but to each his own. congrates.

I say keep the wheels you have now, they look way better than the other ones you want to get. If you want a black wheel, than paint the wheels, that will look prettty nice with all the tint

Tinted Tails
Mesh
Visor TV's
Lip

Headrest TV size
Tinted Headlights (black/clear em)

Wow... some haters up in here i see... Well I think your car looks great, bro. Keep up the good work. I have my headlights tinted and the chrome strip on my grille also, but i'm probably going to color match or black out the lights soon. The only thing that baffled me was when I thought "this kid's in a car club, shows his car, invests a LOT of $$ in the car - and NO NAVI?!?! What's that about?" But whatever floats ur boat. I've been trying to do a mesh grille conversion for a while now - how'd you do yours?

the car is def not my style .. but the one thing that really concerns me
is that you took arguably the best bi-xenon headlights out right now and put TINT ON THEM ??? WTF ???
thats got to be the dumbest thing ever ... nothing like sacraficing your vision for vanity .. but hey .. its not my car

I have staggered 20s setup and I'm not handicapped at all in performance for ex. if me and you were to see who TL will perform the best........personally I think I will out perform you, with the 20's on. We all need to get past this myth about staggered 20's, because I have a set on & the work well. Hey Jason.......that setup will work well, pm me so I can give you the info for the 20's.

The 17's will out accelerate and out top speed the 20's by a significant margin. But yeah I agree they look hot! And I am not hating..........and I am not giving you my two cents.........I am giving you the undeniable facts

Props for "doing you" and modding your car the way "you" want it. That's why we do it anyways, right, to make yourself happy.
But IN MY OPINION, I have a taste in my mouth when I look at your car.
